What Is Altanora Infrastructure as a Service?

Altanora IaaS delivers virtual servers, storage and networking on AltaSphere, our managed VMware Cloud Foundation platform, as either a dedicated private cloud or a pay-as-you-go multi-tenant cloud. We run the infrastructure, VMware licensing, patching and monitoring. You keep your VMs, tools and processes.

IaaS runs in data centres in Canada, the United States, the UK and Australia, hosted on infrastructure independently audited to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018.
